Ken and I worked at Kodak and Brinks. He will be missed very much. Ken had a big heart and would do anything for you. My condolences to the family..may God bless you all.
Joeen, I can’t tell you how sorry we are about Ken. He was a wonderful guy and a faithful friend, and a fellow coffeeholic.He and Bill used to polish off a couple pots at work every night.
I will miss talking to him and telling him, that to watch golf is like watching paint dry or grass grow. He had a good sense of humor. Bill used to say that he and kenny spent more nights together than with us.
If there is anything we can do for you or the boys, please let us know. Well see you on the 18th. Love you, Bonnie and Bill
